My life with a wonderful husband, living my vocation of raising three girls Catholic in a secular world, finding myself more counter-cultural and farther from the mainstream every day, and trying to grow in patience, knowing that they will not be little for long.

What we're listening to...

Saturday, May 29, 2010

We went to a local lake to swim on Thursday morning. We have to pay $3 for a parking permit there (it is going up to $5 in June - waah). As we drove out of the parking lot to go home, Caroline asked, "Mommy, do we have to pay to unpark?"

And this is totally unrelated, but I just realized how very old our car is... I was 17 years old when it was made!!! And I am almost 31 now!!! I can't believe I was actually only 22 when we bought it... wow, I almost can't believe I was ever 22 years old at all. Seems surreal...

erin, the time thing becomes more surreal the older you become - like when you realize you've been married more than half of your life or your high school years are 30 or more years in your past. however, in your mind, it seem like 10 or 12 years ago. when you mentioned the age of your car, i was thinking that can't be, but then just do the math.

My Lovely Family!

About Me

I spend my days as a 35 year old Catholic wife and mother changing diapers, nursing babies, teaching my children at home, making yogurt, picking figs, and fighting city hall for the rights of families to care for themselves in healthy and self-sufficient ways. I love my husband, chocolate, the Pope(s), Earl Greyer and Irish Breakfast teas, cooking, and the beauty and truth of my faith's teachings on family, sexuality, and love. My mottos are "Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life," "Ora et Labora," and "Offer it up." If you dropped by, you'd likely find me in my kitchen barefoot with a baby on my hip making dinner while rocking out to some Tonic or Emerson Hart.
